2001 Cadillac Deville

THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY FALLING DOWN IN TO YOUR LEGS AND FEET. I HAD A LARGE PIECE FALL ON MY LEGS AND FEET WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY WORK DONE ON THE CAR WHERE THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE DASHBOARD. THERE ARE PIECES OF BLACK PLASTIC THAT FALL OUT OF THE DASHBOARD AREA ALL THE TIME. I HAVE HAD TO TAPE THE LIGHT SWITCHES INTO PLACE WITH DUCT TAPE. AND THE RADIO AND A/C CONTROL AREA I HAVE PROPED UP WITH A SHELF BRACKET TO TRY AND HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY ROAD WHEN THE LARGE PIECE FELL DOWN.

WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END CRASH GOING 48MPH AND THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG OR ANY OTHER AIR DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS SO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END THAT THE CAR WAS TOTALED A COMPLETE LOSS. I WOULD LIKE CAR TO BE INSPECTED FOR FAULTY AIR BAGS AND ALSO FRONT END FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT AS DID NOT HOLD UP WELL WITH CRASH. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAD 78,000 MILES AND WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION PRIOR TO CRASH. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS AND WITH THAT MUCH DAMAGE AND SPEED THEY SHOULD OF BEEN DEPLOYED THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION. I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND AT 48 MPH CAR IN FRONT SLAMMED ON BRAKES I TRIED TO AVOID THEM AND WENT TO THE RIGHT BUT THERE WAS A POLE AND ANOTHER TRUCK SO I PULLED BACK TO LEFT AND IT THE CAR IN THE REAR. AT NO TIME DID THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION STARTED PRIOR TO CAR BEING TOTALED AND REMOVED BY INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR
